His innovative approach has led to advancements in monitoring and controlling wall thickness in various applications.
Latest Patents
Van Hulle holds a patent for an "Optical thickness detecting and comparing method and apparatus." This invention provides a method and apparatus for detecting differences in the wall thickness of a hollow object at various locations around its perimeter. Radiant electromagnetic waves are directed through one side of the object. The intensity of the waves is sensed at two adjacent locations where they emerge from the other side of the object after passing through two wall portions of the object at different sides. The intensity of the waves at these locations is compared to ascertain any difference in wall thickness. This comparison is repeated as the waves scan the perimeter of the object, indicating any trend of wall thickness departure from an average thickness. Corrective measures can then be taken at the apparatus that fabricates the object to restore wall thickness to the desired amount. This invention has particular utility in monitoring and controlling wall thickness of extruded plastic tubing in the course of fabricating plastic bags. Van Hulle has 1 patent to his name.
